I can't even believe anyone doesn't like the "classic mess" and prefers the mini-box method of containers. With the "classic mess" I can really organize my containers nice, overlaying things as necessary, etc. I am glad at least there is an option somewhere to use the old style containers.

But aesthetically? Just about everything in the world is worse off than it was in the 2d client. The 2d client may be old, but is much better looking by far. I've seen some of those 3d games out there, and they are pretty ugly if you ask me. 3d only starts to get good when you get to the level of detail that exists in Oblivion or SWG, and then wow does it look good. But short of that kind of quality, I don't think using 3d is visually appealing in many games and should be avoided if you already have invested the money in something that actually looks nice. Sure, it's a good cheap way of making a new game(yes, CHEAP, 3d is easier to work with than 2d if you do it sloppy like EA has). But OSI already invested the start up money years and years ago into doing a GOOD 2d client, why replace it with an ugly typical 3d client? If you just have to have 3d, bite the bullet and make it an Oblivion class client. But for heaven's sake, find someone who knows how people walk.

It is beyond simply bug report bad though. It is throw the baby out with the bath water and hop into bed again and hope for better bad! What actually looks better than it did in the 2d client? Nothing so far as I could tell, nothing at all. If I thought bug reports could fix that ugly mess then I would give them. But I can't even stand to run it, and that is the biggest bug of all. Sue me for having eyes.
